Course Content (Syllabus)
The course examines literature in an international and interdisciplinary context. It focuses on the reception of individual writers, literary movements and genres and the intertextual relations developed among different textual participants. Literary production is appreciated through the lenses of the History of Ideas and of the Theory of Literature. The course takes issue with specific literary trends (e.g. picaro, literature of the fantastic etc.), intertextuality, intermediality (e.g. European art and Greek mythology, literature and photography) and the contribution of discourse of different disciplines in literary studies (e.g. the poetics of madness).
